Samples from Nineteen Eighty-Four

  • Skinny Puppy uses samples from Nineteen Eighty-Four in "The Centre Bullet", "I don't mean confessing. Confessing isn't betrayal. I mean feelings. If they can make me change my feelings, if they can stop me from loving you, that would be real betrayal." [20] and also in "Carry" from the album "Back And Forth 3 & 4" [21] [ better source needed ]
